NKG2C/CD159c, His, Cynomolgus

As a first line of defense, natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the fight against infections. The presented study is the first of its kind that ascribes CD56dimCD16 NKG2C-expressing NK cells a crucial role in biasing adaptive immune responses upon influenza vaccination and suggests NKG2C as a potential biomarker in predicting pandemic influenza vaccine responsiveness.
